Per Sq Ft, on Top of Base Rate
Each applicable PLC is a rupees-per-sq-ft figure added to the base rate, multiplied by your unit's super built-up area. Two or more PLCs can stack — a high-floor, lake-facing corner pays all three.

The PLC Charges Guide — What Location Premiums Buy You.
PLC — Preferential Location Charges — is the per-sq-ft premium added to a unit's base price for a better position: a lake view, a higher floor, a corner aspect. At Prestige Rosewood, the one that matters most faces Varthur Lake. Here is every PLC type, how the arithmetic works and how to choose — updated July 2026.

The Premiums
Which PLC charges apply at Prestige Rosewood?
Five location premiums cover the desirable positions across the six towers — and a good share of the inventory carries none at all.
PLC Type
Applies To
Basis
Notes
Lake-view PLC
Units facing Varthur Lake
₹/sq ft
The signature premium at Prestige Rosewood — the towers stand directly opposite Varthur Lake, and lake-facing inventory is limited across all configurations.
Floor-rise charge
Higher floors, typically above the 3rd–5th
Per floor
A per-sq-ft charge added for each floor above the base level — indicatively ₹25–60 per sq ft per floor in premium Whitefield towers — reflecting views, light and privacy.
Corner-unit PLC
End units with extra open sides
₹/sq ft
Corner residences get light and ventilation from two or three sides and no shared wall on one flank — a modest premium over mid-stack units.
Facing / vastu PLC
East and north-east facing units
₹/sq ft
East and north-east facing homes carry a premium driven by vastu preference and morning light. See the vastu page for the orientation map.
Garden / courtyard facing
Units over the central landscape
₹/sq ft
Homes overlooking the landscaped central courtyard, rather than the internal roads, may carry a smaller view premium.
No-PLC units
Base-priced inventory
Nil
Lower floors with internal-road or standard aspects carry no PLC — the best-value route into the project at the base ₹14,300/sq ft rate.
PLC types and ranges are indicative; exact tower-wise rates are published in the price list and frozen for your unit in the cost sheet and agreement-for-sale.
The Arithmetic
How is PLC calculated?
Simple, transparent arithmetic — a per-sq-ft rate on your unit's super built-up area, stacking where a unit qualifies for more than one premium.
A Worked Example
A 1,850 sq ft 3 BHK with a ₹150/sq ft lake-view PLC adds about ₹2.78 lakh; a 10th-floor unit at ₹40/sq ft floor-rise over 6 chargeable floors adds roughly ₹4.44 lakh. Illustrative figures only.
Taxed With the Unit Price
PLC forms part of the apartment consideration, so it is taxed the way the unit price is — GST during construction at the prevailing rate — and it enters the value on which stamp duty is computed.
Fixed in the Cost Sheet
Exact PLC rates are published tower-wise in the price list and frozen for your unit in the cost sheet and agreement-for-sale. Rates can differ between towers and can be revised between phases.
Buyer's Judgement
Which premiums are worth paying?
PLC is a value judgement, not a tax. Four principles help you decide where the premium earns its keep — and where base inventory is the smarter buy.
The Lake View Is the Scarce Asset
Whitefield-Varthur has exactly one lakefront of this scale. Lake-facing units are the inventory buyers resell and tenants pay up for — the PLC here tends to hold its value best.
Floor-Rise vs. View Trade-Off
Above the tree line (roughly the 8th–10th floor) the lake view opens fully. Below it, a garden-facing unit without floor-rise can be the smarter value — walk the site or take the virtual tour before deciding.
Think Resale, Not Just Purchase
A PLC you pay once travels with the home's desirability forever. Premium-aspect units historically outperform base inventory on both resale price and rental demand in this corridor.
Negotiate the Package, Not the Rate
PLC rates are largely standard, but at pre-launch the overall package — inaugural rate, PLC inclusions and payment terms — has the most room. An advisor can tell you what is flexible this quarter.

FAQs
PLC questions, answered.
What are PLC charges in real estate?
PLC (Preferential Location Charges) is a premium added to an apartment's base price for units in more desirable positions — a better view, a higher floor, a corner aspect or a favoured facing. It is quoted per sq ft and applied on the super built-up area. PLC is standard practice across Indian residential projects, including at Prestige Rosewood.
What PLC charges apply at Prestige Rosewood?
The premiums at Prestige Rosewood fall into five groups: a lake-view PLC for units facing Varthur Lake, floor-rise charges on higher floors, corner-unit PLC, a facing/vastu premium for east and north-east homes, and a smaller courtyard-facing premium. Lower-floor units with standard aspects carry no PLC at all. Exact tower-wise rates are published in the price list — the table on this page explains each type.
How is PLC calculated?
PLC is a per-sq-ft amount multiplied by the unit's super built-up area, added on top of the base rate. Multiple PLCs stack when a unit qualifies for more than one — for example, a high-floor, lake-facing corner home pays the lake-view PLC, the floor-rise for its level and the corner premium. The worked examples on this page show the arithmetic.
How much are the floor-rise charges?
Floor-rise in premium Whitefield towers is indicatively ₹25–60 per sq ft per floor, usually chargeable above the 3rd–5th floor. Across the high-rise towers at Prestige Rosewood, that means a meaningful but graduated difference between a low-floor and a high-floor home. The exact per-floor rate for each tower is set out in the price list — request the current cost sheet for precise figures.
Is GST charged on PLC?
Yes. PLC forms part of the apartment's sale consideration, so it is taxed the same way as the base price — GST at the prevailing rate for under-construction homes applies on PLC amounts too, and PLC also enters the value on which stamp duty is later computed. Tax rules can change; this is general information, not tax advice.
Is a lake-view PLC worth paying?
For most buyers at this project, the case is strong: the towers sit directly opposite Varthur Lake, lake-facing inventory is limited, and premium-aspect homes in this corridor have historically led base inventory on resale and rental demand. Whether it is worth it for you depends on budget and intent — an on-site visit or the virtual tour is the right way to judge the view difference floor by floor.
